(The following is a paper presented at a workshop on
Orientation to the Deaf for Vocational Counselors held at
the California School for the Deaf, Berkeley, May 1-3, 1963.)
B EFORE I begin my topic, I would like to
explain my background a little. I am a
deaf person who possesses no oral skills, and
who come from a wholly deaf family. However
I am fortunate in that I have had wide con-
tacts with all kinds of the deaf in America,
and because of this I am trying to be without
prejudice in presenting this topic. If I may so
presume, I believe that I am speaking for the
majority of the adult deaf. By this I mean
those who were deaf through their formative
years.
There are many people who are just as
deaf as we are, but who lost their hearing
when they were well into their adulthood.
These people have entirely different problems
and attitudes than ours. They usually main-
tain excellent speech and their social be-
havior is essentially that of normal hearing
people.
I am also not too familiar with a certain
group of the deaf, who come from day schools
or day classes and who do not mingle with
other types of the adult deaf. I have had some
slight contacts with them and I have heard of
them through the other products of day oral
schools who have learned to mingle with and
enjoy the company of the other adult deaf.
The adult deaf I am talking about live in a
self-contained community. The lack of free
and easy communication with hearing people
draws a definite barrier around the commu-
nity. A mutual handicap, a mutual language,
mutual interests, mutual problems, together
with free and easy social intercourse knit the
adult deaf into a tight community.
I am familiar with the often expressed
desires of both educators and parents for in-
tegration of the deaf into the hearing world.
Complete integration is, like Utopia, highly
desirable but impossible to attain. There are
various degrees of integration, in rough pro-
portion to the speech and lip-reading ability
of the deaf individuals. But, nowhere and at
no time have I ever seen any deaf person en-
joying a complete social life among the hear-
ing people. Whenever I see a supposedly deaf
person enjoying absolute social contacts with
his hearing friends, and staying away from
the community of the deaf, I usually come to
the conclusion that he is really a hard-of-
hearing person, masquerading as a deaf
person!
As I said before, the adult deaf maintain
varying degrees of social contacts with their
hearing friends. These contacts may range
from very few and reluctant exchanges made
necessary by the occasion, such as at the job
or doing business, to frequent social contacts.
Even in the latter case the deaf individual
usually considers himself a part of the deaf
community and maintains closer ties with
other deaf friends.
It is easier and more pleasant for the deaf
individual to be in a very small group with
his hearing friends — probably with only one
or two couples, as the hearing friends are
better able to give their deaf friends full
attention and the deaf can then keep up with
the conversation. Whereas, if a deaf couple
joins a large gathering mostly composed of
hearing people, they would feel very much
out of place. It would take 'an unusual deaf
person to be able to keep up with the general
conversation through lip-reading alone. Of
course there will often be a kindly hearing
friend who takes pains to repeat the gist of
the general conversation to his deaf friends,
but if they frequent the same social group,
familiarity tends to make the hearing friends
forgetful of their handicap and consequently
neglect to keep the deaf posted.

“Now Hear This . .
To many of you who read this column
probably the expression “Now hear this” has
very little meaning. To those of us who are
old enough to remember World War II, par-
ticularly those of you who were in the Navy,
this expression has a great deal of meaning.
It was used to gain everyone's attention
aboard ship so that instructions or orders for
the day could be given. One such order we
heard each morning went like this, “Now hear
this; sweepers, man your brooms — clean sweep
down fore and aft.” Aboard ship this
has meaning. It also has meaning here at
our school. A clean ship in the Navy was
highly praised, and the same thing could
be said for a clean school. Each man
became a part of the ship on which he
served, so that when he failed to do or carry
out his responsibilities that affected the total
ship. This is true with our school here. Each
boy and girl is a part of the school. Each
boy and girl has a responsibility to the school
so that its function can be 100%.
Hundreds of visitors come to our campus
each year to observe either work being done
in the classroom or to be taken on a guided
tour about the campus. There is always one
comment that someone in each group will
make and that is, “My, what a beautiful cam-
pus! How do you keep it so clean?” My an-
swer is always that the boys and girls are
very proud of their school and! that they
take pride in seeing it looking good. So
with spring coming on, let's remember to
keep the candy wrappers -and ice cream
wrappers and paper cups and straws in the
containers provided for them. Let’s not wait
until you hear the familiar refrain “Now hear
this; now hear this; sweepers, man your
brooms — clean sweep down fore and aft.”

Socio-Economic Status ...
Continued from Page 1
The economic status of the deaf depends
mainly upon their occupations. Very few live
on inherited wealth. These scions are usually
products of pure oral schooling or private
tutoring, and they generally stay aloof from
the deaf community, only enjoying the socie-
ty of a select few.
It is safe to say that deafness has served to
keep most of the workers one or two notches
below what they would be without their han-
dicap. There are top workers who would be
foremen or superintendents if they were not
deaf. Some of the deaf teachers might enjoy
supervisory positions if not for their handicap.
Therefore, for this reason, the economic struc-
ture of the deaf is somewhat lower than
normal.
Very many own their homes, but they are
mostly of middle-class size, many in tracts. A
great percentage of the deaf own cars, rang-
ing from Cadillacs to jalopies of uncertain
vintage.
At the top echelon, and, therefore potential
leaders of the deaf community, are the pro-
fessional workers. Naturally the few wealthy
scions top them economically, but as a rule
they do not participate in the activities of the
community.
Except for a few engineers, chemists, other
laboratory technicians, and ministers, the bulk
of the professional workers are teachers in
the schools for the deaf. Next in the econo-
mic structure are the many union printers.
This remunerative trade has long been the
traditional choice of the intelligent deaf in-
dividual who, either by circumstance or
choice, does not follow a professional career.
Almost all the community leaders come from
these occupational levels.
From these the deaf range downward
through all economic levels. Probably because
of the strong vocational background of the
residential schools, more of the deaf in pro-
portion are employed at skilled or semiskilled
trades than at unskilled work. At the bottom
of the economic ladder are the itinerant “beg-
gar-peddlers” who sometimes make quite a
lucrative living playing upon the sympathy of
the public for their handicap by peddling
band-aids or needles and asking for generous
donations. I know of several who are able to
buy Cadillacs and income property with the
proceeds. These are anathema to the respec-
table deaf because they give us a bad name.
Coming back to the deaf community, I
would like to compare it to a small village
2
where anything a person does is of immediate
interest to all. The more well-known he is,
the more interesting he becomes. No deaf
person would dream of by-passing other deaf
strangers even in a big city without stopping
to ascertain their identity and to introduce
himself. The size of the deaf community
varies in direct proportion to the size of the
town, but even in the vast metropolitan area
around the bay, the deaf community is not
much larger than a small town, probably
numbering around 3000, therefore possessing
all the virtues and faults of such a town.
This fact is responsible for a common dan-
ger of having too many deaf workers in one
place. They are more prone to rivalry and
jealousy than other people because instead of
dispersing to their own circles of friends after
work, they go to the same social groups in
their leisure time and frequently minor dis-
putes begun at work are brought up and
magnified out of proportion.
The deaf may be classified into various in-
tellectual levels just like their hearing con-
temporaries but in many cases they belong to
same groups because of their common handi-
cap, not because they hold common interests.
This is especially true of the deaf in small
towns. They tolerate, rather than enjoy each
other’s company because they would find only
loneliness in the company of hearing friends.
This probably explains the tendency of the
deaf to gravitate toward large metropolitan
areas.
Even in large cities the deaf find it almost
impossible to start private clubs where mem-
berships would be only by invitation. The only
organizations that would succeed would be
those which are open to all the deaf. There-
fore, we have only welfare, religious and rec-
reational groups for the deaf. In this area the
deaf of all classes go to the East Bay Club
for the Deaf, the only public place outside of
churches where they can congregate. The
Club has the interest and help of many of the
community leaders because we realize that it
is necessary for the deaf to have a place
where they may enjoy each other’s company
and keep off street corners as well as away
from public places. There are similar clubs in
other large communities. We depend upon
home parties, clubs, or our own circles of
close friends for private gatherings where we
may enjoy company with mutual interests.
There are also church groups all over the
state.
The average deaf adult has a slightly dif-
ferent outlook on life. Several factors con-
tribute to this deviation. First, he is a special
member of his family. He is either neglected
or over-protected, resulting in a frustrated or
spoiled child. His education does not really
begin until he comes to school, and with the
additional handicap of language difficulty, he
is lucky if he can graduate with a lag of only
two years in his schooling. Moreover, spend-
ing a majority of his developing years in a
residential school with its impersonal disci-
pline, receiving all the necessary comforts
without any reckoning, leaves the average
deaf adult rather awkward in ordinary social
graces. He also takes many things for grant-
ed that the normal child does not. His seem-
ing ingratitude often provokes his teachers
and other workers.
This paper will not be complete without
touching upon the manual languages and the
part it plays in the social life of the adult
deaf. The manual language is composed of the
sign language and fingerspelling. The signs
take care of the most commonly used terms,
and every day conversations can usually be
carried on by signs almost alone. However, if
exact meanings, proper nouns or right shad-
ings of expression are desired, finger-spelling
is used in conjunction with signs. The manual
language is a real blessing to the deaf, and
the free use of this has made the deaf in
America the self-reliant citizens they are now.
Even the “(hard-core’’ oralists use “gestures,"
which are nothing but homemade sign lan-
guage. Oral skills are valuable in every day
contacts with the general public, but for clari-
ty in communication, the deaf resort to either
pad and pencil or manual language.
I would like to tell an anecdote which will
be more meaningful if you know that in other
countries outside of America, pure oralism is
the usual practice in the schools for the deaf,
and in very few places are the foreign deaf
educated on the secondary level.
In 1961, a group of American athletes with
their managers and trainers journeyed to
Helsinki, Finland, where the “Deaf Olympics"
were held. With them went a hearing doctor
and a hearing trainer. The deaf leaders had
to depend upon these two men for interpreta-
tion whenever necessary, but they were con-
stantly reminded that policies were to be de*
cided upon only by the deaf leaders.
On their arrival in Helsinki, they found
that all other teams were under the guidance
of hearing people. The deaf in Europe have
accepted this as necessary, not having enough

College Notes
Gallaudet College
The death of President Kennedy was a
great shock to all of us at Gallaudet. Classes
were excused until the day following the
funeral. Most of the students stood in line to
view the body in the capitol building and lat-
er stood in line to watch the funeral proces-
sion pass. These were sad days for us all.
Last month Earl Hater, our wrestling star,
belonging to the 157 weight division, pinned
a wrestler belonging to the 177 weight divi-
sion.
Tom Henes, Charles Marsh and I (Bob
Skedsmo) are busy running each morning at
six o’clock. We are trying to get in shape for
the indoor track season. We hope we will be
picked to participate in the meets to be held
in Baltimore sometime in February.
On my return to New York from a skiing
trip to Vermont during the Christmas vaca-
tion, I met Charles Marsh and together we
visited Wall Street, the Stock Exchange and
other points of interest in New York.
Gordon Johnson had a surprise visit during
the holiday from his mother and father.
Bill Ramborger, Butch Gongaware, Mar-
garet Holcomb, Bobbi Hutchinson and Bill
Bairn rented a car and drove to California
during the Christmas vacation. It took sixty
hours to make the trip from here to there. It
wasn’t the same as riding in a luxury jet.

Riverside City College
Those of us who are working in Graphic
Arts are busy planning letterheads for a con-
test sponsored by the Citrus Belt Club of
Printing House Craftsmen of Riverside and
San Bernardino. Their motto is, “Share Your
Knowledge.” We hope that one of us in the
class will win first place.
Our final exams come during the third' and
fourth weeks of January. Our stiff English
final will be on a Saturday! Studying for
finals is hard work. Some of us are planning
to go to Berkeley at the finish of the finals to
watch the traditional rivalry in basketball
between CSDR and Berkeley.
Greg Brown has been in wrestling matches
three times but has found that he needs more
experience to compete against his opponents
and win. However, it is thrilling for him to
play against the other teams, especially in
league competetion where many junior col-
lege teams participate.
Look for us in the next issue!

Income Tax Deductions
At this time of the year the information
contained in the following clipped item will
probably be of interest to the parents of our
children.
The Internal Revenue Service of the Treas-
ury Department has ruled’ that it is permis-
sible to deduct the cost of transportation for
your deaf child to and from school. Internal
Revenue Bulletin No. 195-42, dated Decem-
ber 30, 1957, reads in part:
Page 41, Section (IV) “Expenses paid for
transportation primarily for and essential to
the rendition of the medical care or expenses
paid for medical care.”
Page 42, Section (a) : “The cost of medical
care includes the cost of attending a special
school ... if his condition is such that the
resources of an institution for alleviating such
mental or physical handicap is the principal
reason for his presence there . . . thus, the
cost of medical care includes the cost of at-
tending a special school designated to com-
pensate for or overcome a physical handicap,
in order to qualify the individual for future
normal education or for normal living such
as a school for the teaching of braille. Simil-
arly, the cost of care and supervision, or of
treatment and training, of a mentally retard-
ed or physically handicapped individual at an
institution is within the meaning of the term
“medical care.”
In claiming deductions under the above,
you must file Federal income tax long form
1040 and itemize all deductions, showing your
car mileage or cost of other forms of trans-
portation used for getting your child to and
from school. Under “medical care” you can
also deduct cost of medical doctors, dentists,
eye glasses, hearing aids, etc. Also you may
deduct transportation for car, bus, train, or
cab fare, to and from doctor’s office, plus any
parking charge, but you must keep receipt of
charge. If you have any questions contact
your local Internal Revenue Service. (The

Enchanted
Evenings
On the evenings of December 18 and 19
the Dramatic Club of CSDR presented a
Christmas program that was joyful, and dear
to the hearts of young and old alike. Kris
Kr ingle’s Crisis filled everyone with delight
and the magic enchantment that is Christmas
as it should be.
Traditionally, the robed chorus started the
evening by entering the darkened Social Hall
bearing flashlight torches. As the lights came
on and between each act they kept the Christ-
mas spirit at its best with their renditions of
“Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Mr. Santa/'
“Toyland," “Up on the Housetop,” ‘Must Be
Santa,” “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town/’
and ‘‘Jingle Bells.”
The curtain opened on Kris Kringle (Gene
Gamaohe) and Mrs. Kringle (Connie Paine)
relaxing in their North Pole home. Kris, with
feet propped up on the table was going
through his big book, Good Boys and Girls.
The spirit of Christmas being what it is, not
a few of the audience strained to catch a
glimpse of Old Kris’ list.
The Eskimo mailman (Charles Hofer)
brought in bags and bags of mail addressed
to .Santa Claus, North Pole, Zip Number
99701. Kris went through his mail, checking
the names in his big book arid then checked
the calendar. Time was shorter than he had
realized, and December 25 was just around
the corner. He started frantically to work for
he had many, many toys to assemble before
Christmas Eve. Busily sawing and' hammer-
ing, he. managed to get his long white beard
caught in a vise, and for all his struggles and
maneuvering was unable to get it loose. Mrs.
Kris finally came to his aid, but she, too, was
unable fo get his beard loose, so she called his
helpers, the three elves I Jay Shopshire, Jim
Hernandez, Ernesto Murillo). They came run-
ning, and with a great deal of slap-stick ef-
fort, came up with various and useless ways
of getting Kris’ beard free. Finally, they cut
it off with a big pair of scissors — they ca-
pered gleefully and complimented themselves
— but Kris was dismayed! How could Santa
be, Santa without a beard? The elves, dis-
mayed because Kris was dismayed, then tried
hopelessly to put his beard back in place. Kris
gave up working on the toys. Gloom settled
over the North Pole. '
To compensate for cutting off Kris’ beard,
the elves worked like beavers making new
toys, most of which fascinated and delighted
them to the point of delirium. They made a
. .bird (Pat Moran), that, when wound up,

A subject of everlasting interest to children of all ages is that of "Pets”!! We hope you
enjoy the stories about our pets.
A Topic on Pets
I read about pets in the World Book.
There are many different kinds of pets:
cats, dogs, birds, goats, guinea pigs, frogs,
and turtles. In Australia the people have
koala bears for their pets.
Birds are very good pets for people who
live in apartments. They can have para-
keets, parrots and canaries.
Persian cats have long hair and they are
valuable. Siamese cats are valuable, too.
They have blue eyes. Many people have
cats that are not valuable, but they love
them. We call these cats alley cats.
Dogs are very popular pets. There are
many, many different kind of dogs. People
can teach them tricks. George Washington
kept foxhounds as pets.

Many Pets
I have many pets. I have four dogs, a
parakeet and two cats. One dog is a blood-
hound. It bites. It can catch a ball.
My parakeet can sing and talk. I say,
"What is your name?” The parakeet says,
"My name is Jack.” Mike Butterfield
Poor Peggy
Once I had a dog named Peggy. One day
Peggy wet outside to play. After a while I
called her, but she did not come. I looked
for her. My friend Bobby came to my house
that day and I told him that Peggy did not
come when I called her. Then Bobby and
I looked for her. We couldn’t find her. My
dog was lost. I was vey sorry.

An Imaginary Story
It was winter. I heard a knock at the door.
I opened the door. At first I did not see
anything. Then I saw two hamsters on the
porch. They wanted to come in. They were
cold. I turned on the heater. Oh! Poor
little hamsters! I put them into a cage.
Mother and I went to the store. Mother
bought some hamster food.* When we
arrived home, the hamsters were climbing
around in the cage. Mother laughed. I fed
the hamsters. Then I put them out on the
floor. They played. I was happy. The hams-
ters were happy. They had found a home!
Sarah Marentez
Parakeets
I had two parakeets. They were happy
and they played and chirped all the time. I
liked them.
One day last summer one of the parakeets
10
flew away. The other parakeet was unhap-
py. It got sick. In a few days it died. My
father bought two new parakeets, but they
flew away, too. Now I do not have any pets.
Mary Winter
A Pretty Bird
I had a pretty bird. My father cut the
birds wing feathers. Then it could not fly
away. For a long time my bird only hopped
around. After a while he could fly again.
His wing feathers had grown. My father
laughed because the bird flew around and
around in the living room.

A Wish
I wish I had a do°; I would like to have
a dachshund. I asked my mother if she
would buy one later. If I get a dog, I will
call him Happy or Doggie. I asked my
brother and sister, “If we get a dog, what
would you like to call him, Happy or Dog-
gie?” They said to call him, Doggie. We
children always wanted to have a pet. We
love dogs very much. Daisy Slagle
Heidi
I have a female dachshund. Her name
is Heidi.
Heidi can do tricks. She can sit up and
roll over. Sometimes she plays with Mother.
Heidi loves to play ball. I like Heidi more
than any other dog. Chris Buchholz

named the rat Herman. Now Herman is six
months old.
One day Sandra, her boy friend and I
went to a school playground. We took Her-
man. We put him out on the grass. We
played with him. Herman sat up on his
hind legs. We laughed. We had lots of fun.

My Pet
I have a turtle and a cat. My cat's name
is Sam. My turtle does not have a name.
Sam has a white face .and feet. The rest
of his body is Hack. I feed Sam at 7o : clock
in the morning and at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. Sam sleeps in his bed in the
kitchen. My turtle stays in his bowl in the
living room. I feed my turtle once a day.

My Pet
My dog's name is Smokey. He is black. I
am his teacher. I showed my dog how to
roll, jump and sit up. I taught him to shake
hands with me. When I throw a ball, Smo-
key runs and catches the ball. Smokey barks
and barks when people come near my
home.
My mother feeds Smokey every day at
five o'clock in the afternoon.
Todd Brown
Monkey
One day I went to a pet shop by myself.
I had thought about and wished for a mon-
key of my own, but I didn't have, any
money.
I went home and asked mother about it.
She said, “No, you can't have a monkey be-
cause I am going to buy you another gift
for Christmas.” I had a good idea. I asked
my mother if I could see the monkey every
day after school. She said, “O.K.”
The next day when I went to school
Mother went to the pet shop. She bought
the monkey for me. She took it home.
I went to the pet shop after school. I
saw that the monkey was not there. I cried
all the way home.
School closed for Christmas vacation. On
Christmas morning I saw a gift under the
tree move. My name was on the gift so
I opened die gift. It was a monkey. I hug-
ged the monkey. I thought I would call it
Blackie. I was very careful of him. I loved
him very much. He chattered to me. I
taught him to do tricks.
This is not a true story, but I wish it were.

The Wright Brothers
Man's first powered flight took place
December 14, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina.
Wilbur and Orville Wright tossed a coin
to see who would make the first try. Orville
made the test. He got into the airplane and
stayed in the air 2Vz seconds.
Three days later they made another test.
The plane stayed for 12 seconds and flew
to a height of 120 feet. The same day Or-
ville made another flight and Wilbur made
two. The longest was Wilbur's. It lasted 59
seconds. The plane flew 852 feet.
The Wright brothers spent years study-
ing and experimenting. Although they did
not graduate from high school, they were
great readers. They read about other peo-
ple who had tried to fly, but failed.
They knew they had to learn all about
air pressure; so they built a wind tunnel.
They built a strong engine and propellers.
All of this study helped them build their
airplane.
Many honors were heaped upon the
brothers. A beautiful monument to them
now stands at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
Clyde Vincent
Former Teacher in Germany
Miss Barbara Kohler came to our school
in 1961 from the training class at Gallaudet
College. She taught speech in Junior High
School for two years. Now she is teaching in
Darmstadt, Germany. This city is located
near Frankfurt. Miss Kohler is teaching
third grade at an Army base. She wrote
that she visited Munich, Berlin, Heidelberg,
Switzerland, and other places including the
Middle East. She visited East Berlin and
saw the wall which divides the city.

Pike's Peak
Pikes Peak was discovered November 15,
1801, by Lieutenant Zebulon Pike. It is the
most famous peak in the Rocky Mountains.
It is not the highest but it is the easiest of
the high peaks to reach. Thousands of peo-
ple go to Pikes Peak each year, It is near
the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The top of Pike's Peak is 14,110 feet
above sea level. It is about 12,000 feet up
the sides of the mountain.
Dr. Edwin James was the first person
after the American Indians to climb to the
top of Pike's Peak. He made the climb in
1820.
Now every year many people reach the
top, but they do not have to climb. They
can drive to the top because a road has
been cut in the mountainside. They may
ride a railway to the top, also. Sometimes
there are car races to the top.
Usually people do not want to stay at
the summit long because the air is much
thinner and the air pressure is not nearly
as great.

A Friend
Mr. Barry Griffing is a native of Okla-
homa. He came to CSDR in 1957. He taught
reading in Junior High School.
Mr. Griffing was selected for the Leader-
ship Training Class at San Fernando Col-
lege in February of 1963.
Mr, Griffing was a true friend to the
boys and girls.
Presently he is Dean of Students at the
Berkeley School for the Deaf. We miss him
but hope that he is happy at Berkeley. We
hope he will always remember his many
friends at CSDR.
Janet Smith
Daniel Boone
Daniel Boone is the most famous of all
the early American pioneers. He blazed the
trail and opened up land beyond the Appal-
achians.
' He was born in Pennsylvania in 1734.
As a boy he learned how to fight and shoot
with a bow and arrow. He was friendly
with the Indians. He learned many of their
ways. He was given a gun when he was 12
years old. At this time much of America
was still a wilderness. Later, Daniel moved
with his family to North Carolina. His
home was on the edge of the wilderness.
Still later, with the help of 30 men, Boone
cut the famous 300-mile Wilderness Road
that led to the Kentucky River. This is a
well known highway in Kentucky now. At
.the end of the trail he founded the town of
Boonesborough.
Boones wife and daughter were the first
white women to go to that part of the coun-
try. He told many other people about the
new wild land. He told about the green for-
ests and' big rivers.
In 1775 he led a group of settlers over
the mountains into Kentucky, along the
trails he had blazed earlier.
Later, Boone moved his family to Mis-
souri. Several times he was captured by In-
dians, but always managed to escape.
Boone died in 1820 and is buried in
Frankfort, the capital of Kentucky. A mon-
ument to honor him stands at his grave.

The Discovery of Gold
An exciting event happened in California
in the year 1848. Gold was found on Janu-
ary 24, 1848 by James Wilson Marshall who
was building a sawmill on a river in north-
ern California. He found a nugget of gold
while walking near the river. Then Marshall
collected three ounces of gold and returned
to Sutter s Fort to talk with his employer.
They decided to keep it a secret, but soon
most of northern California knew of the
discovery.
Everybody in the East knew about a gold
strike by September, 1848. In November
the governor's report and President Polk's
message to the people gave more news. It
excited the people of the United States.
They were in a wild "gold rush" mood.
During 1849 more than 80,000 gold seek-
ers rushed to California or the West Coast.
They came to the West Coast by three
main routes: around Cape Horn, by way of
the Isthmus of Panama, and by crossing the
continent. It was the gold rush that started
the big growth of population in California.

Plummer, class sponsor, as faculty advisors.
During the last class meeting the senior
pictures were given out and Pat Bybees
cover design was chosen from the five
submitted for the - class’s selection. Anyone
of the five, voted on, would have been
appropriate for use on the cover.
Class of 1965
We, the Class of 1965, wish to express our
thanks to the staff of CSDR, parents of all
our students and to the students themselves
for your full cooperation during this school
year. The efforts you have made and the
hours you have spent are fully appreciated.
Because of your time and interest in our be-
half, we will have a fine yearbook, and
we will have funds enough to cover all the
obligations necessary when we are in our
senior year. Thank you so much.

Alexander the Great
Alexander was bom in 356 B.C. at Pella,
Macedonia. His father was King Philip II
of Macedon, and his mother was Olympias,
princess of Eprius.
When Alexander was a young boy, he
was taught that Achilles was his ancestor.
When Alexander was about 13 years old his
father secured Aristotle, a famous Greek
philosopher, to be the tutor of Alexander.
He taught Alexander everything about
mathematics, public speaking, the Greek
language, and the history of Greece.
When Alexander was only 18 years old,
he commanded a part of his fathers cav-
alry and rode his famous horse, Bucephalus
at the battle of Chaeronea. He also was
ambassador to Athens.
When Philip II was assassinated, Alex-
ander quickly became the king of Macedon-
ia. He began conquering other countries, in-
cluding Persia, because he wanted other
people to classify him as a god.
He conquered the land all the way from
Mesopotamia to northwestern India. He
was kind to the prisoners of war, even to
the royal captives. In his time he had the
largest empire in the world.
At the age of only 33 years he died from
an unknown sickness. After his death, the
empire fell apart because there was no
successor to his throne, and the generals
began fighting each other for the rule of
Alexanders empire.
Jack C. Lamberton
Virgil
Publius Vergilius Maro was the greatest
of Roman poets. He was called either
Vergil or Virgil. He was born in 70 B. C. on
a farm near Mantua in northern Italy. He
was not a Roman by birth. His father want-
ed him to have an education so when he was
twelve years old, he sent him to schools in
Cremona, Milan, Naples, and then to Rome
when he was seventeen. He studied rhe-
toric and philosophy and spent most of his
time in reading and studying the Greek
poets. Many things were happening during
14
tKe years Virgil lived in Rome. Rome was
ceasing to be a republic mid was starting
to become an empire under Julius Caesar,
In 44 B. C. Caesar was murdered, civil war
broke out and Caesars grandnephew, Oc-
tavian (Augustus), became emperor. Virgil
was writing poetry while Augustus was in
power and Maecenas was the protector
and financier of poets.
Virgil later returned to his fathers farm
and wrote his first work, "The Eclogues.”
In this poem it said that the coming of a
child would bring a new way of life. Many
people thought that his poem told of the
coming of Jesus Christ, but it is now believ-
ed to have been to honor the birth of Au-
gustus,
Most of the common people at the time
could not read and others would not read
such long poems. All poems show Virgil's
tense feeling of patriotism or love for Italy.
His next work was "The Georgies.” In this
poem he wrote about agriculture and na-
ture. He worked on it for seven years.
His greatest poem was "The Aeneid,”
which he worked on for the rest of his life,
about eleven years.
"The Aeneid” is very much like the Greek
poem “The Odyssey” by Homer. It tells
about the adventures of the Trojan hero
Aeneas, from the time he escaped from the
burning city of Troy and the wanderings
of Aeneas and his men from Troy to La-
tium, and then about the war in Latium be-
tween the Trojans and Italians. It is a very
exciting poem.
During those years Virgil took a trip to
Greece to visit some of the places where
the action of "The Aeneid” took place. One
hot day he was out too long and suffered
a heat stroke. Before he died, he told his
friends that his poem should be destroyed
because he felt that it was not perfect, and
it was unfinished, unpolished, and unre-
vised. His friends did not carry out his
wishes and had it published after his
death. Gregory Lee Decker
Random Notes
In high school English, classes K and O
were studying Sidney Kingley's drama
"Darkness at Noon.” Dale Ice became inte-
rested ow the prisoners in their cells talked-
to each other, by tapping on the walls. Dale'
worked out the code they used, and for a
while some of the boys in the dorm had fun
talking with each other by tapping on
their room walls. Bet the counselors got a
headache though!
With his brother and a friend, Gregory
Decker camped near Calico. They explored
a cave after lowering themselves with the
help of a rope and a lantern down a ten-
foot shaft. When they got out safely, they
played back the tape recorder which they
had taken down into the dark cave with
them. They laughed when they heard trem-
bling voices!
One evening Dick Ramborger led in-
nocent Tony Caloroso outdoors to observer
some stars. Dick maneuvered Tony past su.
place where Rene Gamache was ready
with a pail of water to douse Tony. Did.
you think the stars had all fallen, Tony?
Michelle Craig was a good Mothers
helper when her parents went north for
four days. She took care of five little ones
in the family, feeding them and putting-
them to bed!
Congratulations, Janet Quane, for making :
100 on your driver's road test
In order to do some clothes washings
Sharon Russell turned on the water in the^
basin and then left the bathroom for a*-
minute, which instead turned into minutes,.
Much later Sharon had to do half an hour
of mopping.
Jack Jensen, his brother, and a friend
went mountain climbing. Six hundred feet
above there was a cave and they had their
lunch there. However, climbing down was
not so easy; the friend made it, returned
with a rope, and helped Jack and his bro-
ther down to solid ground.

Elementary School—
The title of the book is The Puppy Who
Wanted a Boy.

The story is about a puppy that wanted to
find a home. He found cue, with some orphans
and he lived with fifty boys.
I liked it because it was very cute.
Daisy Slagle
The title of the story is Johnny Appleseed.

Junior High—
TITLE: Charlotte’s Web
AUTHOR E. B. White
Characters: Wilbur, Charlotte, Fern, Avery,
Lurvy, Mr. and Mrs. Zuckerman, Mr. and Mrs.
Arables, Templeton, Nellie, Joy and Aranea.
This is a story of the friendship of a pig,
Wilbur, and a spider, Charlotte. When Wil-
bur was born, he was so tiny the owner
thought Wilbur could' not live so he would
have to kill the pig. The owner’s daughter,
Fern, wanted to take care of Wilbur. She
fed and took good 1 care of him. When Wilbur
had grown big, the owner sold him. Wilbur
lived in a barn from then on. He was lone-
some and’ miserable, but he found a new
friend, Charlotte, the spider. Again the farm-
er was going to kill him, but Charlotte saved
Wilbur’s life by a miracle, writing words on a
spider web. The farmer thought Wilbur was
valuable, so he took him to a county fair
where the pig won a blue ribbon. When Char-
lotte died, she left 514 babies. Wilbur took
care of three of the baby spiders so he had
three friends. The other babies were “balloon-
ists” who had floated away on the wind.

High School—
TITLE: Death Be Not Proud
AUTHOR: John Gunther
This story tells all about John Gunther’s*
son Johnny’s long struggle with death. It has
a sad ending.
In his normal life, Johnny was a boy with
a high I.Q., the highest ever recorded in
Deerfield, Mass., where he went to school. It
was way above the genius level. Chemistry
and math were his favorite subjects.
During the year of 1946 Johnny was strick-
en with a brain tumor. His parents took him
to a hospital in New York. Specialists, about
32 of them from all over the continent, tried
many ways to save Johnny’s life. They work-
ed long and hard for fourteen months. They
operated' on his brain twice. Some people with
a brain tumor will lose their memory, but
not Johnny! During his illness, he caught up
with his school work and graduated. He plan-
ned to go to Harvard the following fall.
One early summer after his second opera-
tion, Johnny could hardly move his left foot
and was getting worse. His parents took him
to a nearby hospital. There he died abolutely
without fear and without knowing he was go-
ing to die. Johnny had fought a long and
mysterious battle with death.
I liked this book very much. I liked the
hero because he suffered the disease, but did
not complain. The part of the story I enjoyed
most was when he was in the hospital be-
cause it showed his patience and' courage.
I learned from this book that a person who
is at death’s door should be patient and have
courage. It strengthens my feelings not to be
afraid of death,

Leisure Time Events
Girl Scout Troop 337
In November our troop very proudly sold
-224 calendars in our annual calendar drive,
and at that, there were more orders than
-calendars to be had. We exceeded our mini-
mum quota by 59 and outsold all other troops
in the council by more than 100. Our profits
of $17.45 were put into our camping fund.
Our meetings in December and January
were devoted toward preparing for our first
overnight to be held on January 19-20.
Among other things we planned menus, cloth-
ing and supplies to be taken, work details in
the form of “Paper Chart” and “do's” and
“don’ts” to be enforced while at the Lawler
campsite in the mountains. At this writing,
the dormitory is loaded with sleeping bags,
mmm clothing, flashlights, and prayers from
the : -girls in the hopes that there will be
snow.
Boy Scout Troop 18
Several of the older boys in the troop are
working on their marksmanship merit badges.
They meet on Saturday mornings with Major
Wells of the R.O.T.C. at Riverside’s Poly
High School.
A meeting will be held in the near future
with a group of scouts from the Riverside
area. Our boys will instruct the hearing boys
in fingerspelling and they will instruct our
boys in tying some of the more difficult
knots.
Dramatic Club
The first meeting of the Dramatic Club was
held in the .Social Hall in November of 1963.
The members had an election for new officers.
The following were elected:
President — Ronnie Scolaro
Vice-President — Nancy Burrell
Secretary — Sharon Russell
Treasurer — Burton Quartermus
Sergeant-et-Arms — Mike Hagar
The old members welcomed the new mem-
bers, a very large group, by presenting im-
promptu skits from given situations.
December was a busy month for the club.
There were practices in the evenings for the
Christmas program which was presented for
two consecutive nights before school closed for
Christmas vacation.
Pep Squad Report
In our January 2 meeting, Miss Small-
wood presented awards to the senior girls.
Pep Squad pins are given to Senior members
every year. Those receiving pins this year
were: Sandra Butler, Froetter Nelson, Bev-
erly Osborn, Sylvia Acosta, Sandra Thomp-
son, Marsha Sandusky, Carol Visser and
Sue Cameron.
The squad is planning its annual outing in
February. Instead of going to the beach in
May, we will head for the snow in the
mountains.
Committees have been formed to plan our
winter dance on February 14. Nancy Burrell
is chairman of the decorating committee,
and Marsha Sandusky and her group will take
care of the refreshments.

Therefore, the committeemen were thunder-
stricken when they tried to give instructions
to the hearing men on the American team
and were informed that they had nothing to
say; that certain deaf men were their supe-
riors. The European deaf were also incredu-
lous when they found that deaf men were in-
deed superintending the American team!
You can imagine with what pride we repeat
this story, thanks to the advanced socio-econ-
omical status of the adult deaf in America,
and to the progressive and broadminded meth-
ods of education, which make this possible.

Tick-Tockers Teach Folk Dancing
to Girl Scout Troop 337
“Ladies 'form a right-hand star.” So say
Tick-Tockers Pam Fisher (3rd from the left) ,
Sally Robinson (in the middle) and Kathy
Batzle (3rd from the right). Each Monday
after school these three girls come to teach
Girl Scouts of Troop 337 various forms of
dancing. The Tick-Tockers, by teaching, are
receiving service points for giving their time,
and the Girl Scouts are meeting requirements
for their dancing badges. At first we thought
only a few Scouts would participate but in-
terest ran so high that all thirty-three Scouts
are taking part and enjoying each minute.
Communication is no problem as Pam Fisher
fingerspells and the rest is done by demon-
stration. Besides the American Square Dance
pictured above by Girl Scouts Diana Mesa,
Joanne Taylor, Jan Garey, Chris Buchholz,
Margaret Ryan, Joanne Miller, Everline Ar-
rington and .Sharon Frazier, the girls are also
learning Spanish, German, Dutch and Scot-

the girls will have made costumes to accom-
pany the dances as well as individual note-
books on dances of other countries.

Wrestling
In the past few years CSDR has offered a
program of intramural wrestling for boys
who are not interested in basketball. 1 In the
course of this program we have had practice
matches with local schools. We are continu-
ing this program again this year. Mr. Kowa-
lewski, our art teacher and a former wrestler
at Gallaudet College, has agreed to coach our
boys. Practice matches have been scheduled
with Aquinas, Ramona J.V.’s, Rim of the
World, San Bernardino and other matches
are being worked out. The following boys
have turned out for our team. Raul Pineda
118 lbs., Lee Bradley 121 lbs., Jeff Jones 123
lbs., Tim Lester 126 lbs., John LeVar 130 lbs.,
Henry Cogswell 136 lbs., Pat Bybee 137 lbs»,
John Lux 150 lbs., Edwin Coates 152 lbs.,
Stephen Strange 152 lbs., Mike Cardinale 176
lbs., Craig Fenton 203 lbs., Edward Johnson
136 lbs., Robert Barron 148 lbs., and Jim
Hernadez 136 lbs.
In a practice meet at CSDR, Aquinas High
School wrestlers from San Bernardino eked
out a close victory over our boys in the open-
ing meet last December. Aquinas dominated
the lightweight divisions, but did not have an
easy time of it. Robert Barron started the
ball rolling for CSDR in the heavier classes,
pinning his opponent after a mad scramble.
Next Stephen Strange and Mike Cardinale
effectively pinned their opponents after excit-
ing battles. Craig Fenton, our heavyweight,
pinned Jones of Aquinas in a spectacular
three-quarter nelson finale.
On January 8th, in our second meet, San
Bernardino High School ran up a series of
falls and three decisions to win, 39-15. Wrest-
lers who won for CSDR were Lee Bradley,
Stephen Strange and Craig Fenton.

FOOTBALL REVIEW
“A” Team
CSDR had one of the best seasons this year
it has had in its brief gridiron history.
In league play we were in fourth place with
three wins and three losses. We also lost a
non-league game to a powerful Webb team.
In the opening game against Boys’ Republic
our team looked very good and we won by
the score of 19-7. The team traveled up to
Big Bear in hopes of having a very successful
season, but lack of team work, penalties and
a general let-down caused us to lose 25-13.
Our boys came back very well against a weak
Twin Pines team. Our boys scored thirty-one
points while the varsity and later the subs
held Twin Pines scoreless. Rim of the World,
the league leaders, brought an undefeated re-
cord to Riverside. In the first half it seemed
as if the Cubs might pull off an upset but
Rim proved to be too powerful, beating us
34-19.
Against a powerful Aquinas platoon system
our boys were worn down and a series of
intercepted passes and a blocked kick made
the score look like a real drubbing. In this
game we made almost as many first downs,
gained more on the ground and almost as
much from passing as did Aquinas. But it is
the score and not statistics that determines
winners and we lost this one 54-6. In the
inter-city rivalry against Notre Dame, CSDR
played one of their best games and won 32-
13.
Special mention of the outstanding play of
several players should be noted. David Cis-
neros has become an excellent ball handler
and has done well on defense. Jerry Moore
was our most consistent ground gainer with
an average of more than five yards per carry.
Burton Quartermus will be missed next year
as he provided some long gains for us this
year. Paul Vincent gave us the short yard-
age when we needed it and was a real
standout on defense. In the line Craig Fen-
ton, our center was outstanding on both
offense and defense. Stephen Strange and
Jack Lamberton were a big help on defense.
Only four of our varsity will be missing
from the team next year, so propects are
very bright for a successful season. Missing
from the line-up next year in addition to
Quartermus will be Jay Shopshire, Denis
Wiley and Clifford Garbett. Norman DeLoss
who played on the “B” team is another sen-
ior who will graduate this year. Next year’s
team should be big, fast, and experienced.
“B” Team
Our “B”s did not have a successful season
but they gained a great deal of experience.
Genero Abenchuchan, the quarterback, did a
fine job and should be a help to the varsity
next year. Other “B” players should have
enough experience for the varsity next season,
Our recond for 1963 was :

Cubs Lose to Bears
Playing basketball in Berkeley on January
25, 1964, the Cubs lost to the Bears of the
California School for the Deaf at Berkeley
by the score of 67 to 41. The Cubs knew
they had to stop the Bears’ great 6’4” center,
Don Lyons. With a 28.5. average in 14 games
Lyons had scored 40 points in a league game
two days previously. This was the same play-
er who had' led the Bears over the Cuiis in
1963 by the lopsided score of 66 to 38.
The Bears took a quick lead as the game
started but the Cubs’ 1-3-1 zone defense ap-
peared to slow down Lyons. However, the
Bears’ man-to-man defense kept the Cubs
from getting any good shots and they were
losing the ball, too. The quarter ended with
the Bears leading 11 to 4.
The pace of the game speeded up in the
second quarter. Lyons was grabbing rebounds
and hitting on long and short shots. The Cubs
did their best to keep him away from the
basket but he would jump up and send high
arching shots through the hoop. As the half
ended the Bears led by 15 points, 33 to 18.
The Cubs changed to a man-to-man defense
as the third quarter opened. The Bears con-
tinued to use this type of defense and stole
the ball from the Cubs time and time again.
Lyons was playing hard and widening the
Bears’ lead. Early in this quarter he made
his fourth personal foul and the Bears’ coach
took him out. This helped the Cubs to gain
on the Bears as the quarter ended.
In the fourth quarter after three minutes
had passed Lyons returned to action. This
checked the CSDR drive. The other players
on the Bears’ team were scoring points with
21
Lyons and v as titne, ran out the Cubs were ,
hopelessly behind!
In this series, . dating back to 1956, flie
Bears have won 7 games to 2 games for the
Cubs.

Cub “B” Team Falls to CSDB “B”
The CSDR “B” boys lost to the “B” team
of the California School for the Deaf at Ber-
keley for the fourth straight year. The score
was 49 to 28. In nine meetings, only once
have the Cubs been able tx> post a victory.
That was in 1960 when they barely won by
the score of 28 to 26.
The Berkeley players had more height and
appeared to be more experienced. The CSDR
boys battled the upstate boys on almost even
terms during the first half. CSDB led by only
5 points at halftime.
In the third quarter the Bear “B”s became
hot and outscored the Cubs by 19 to 8.

Kris Kringle
Continued from Page 5
flapped its wings up and down, and with
many a contrived effort, they got it into a
gilded cage. Then evolved a delicious -looking
gingerbread boy (Ronald Slobe) ; Humpty
Dumpty (Jack Jensen), who kept everyone
worrying about his falling off the stage; a
fragile and lovely Little Miss Muffett (Patsy
Carlsen), who dutifully ate her curds and
whey and screamed at the sight of the vici-
ous-looking, spider; Little Red Riding Hood
(Judith Joiner) ; a Lollipop Tree (Dick Ram-
borger); a hopping cottontail Rabbit (Sandra
Butler) ; Little Jack Horner (Burton Quar-
termus), with a huge, mouth-watering pie
from which he pulled a giant red plum; a
lovely ballerina (Sharon Russell); an Ele-
phant (Marsha Sandusky) ; a Calico Dog
(Clifford Garbett); an Organ Grinder (John
Daigle), to whom the elves became ridiculous
and hilarious monkeys; and The Three Little
Kittens (Kathleen Russell, Jack Lamberton,
Mike Hager), who had properly lost their
mittens and mewed piteously.
After the elves tried out all the toys and
found that they worked much to their caper-
ing delight, they curled up on the floor and
went to sleep.
During the night an Eskimo elf (Nancy
Burrell) came in and slipping among the
sleeping elves, wreak havoc with the toys,
exchanging the Elephant’s head for the Calico
Dog’s, putting the Kittens’ mittens on the
Gingerbread Boy, and pushing over the Lolli-
pop Tree. When the elves awakened they
were furious and horrified that anyone would
play such a trick. However, all was righted
and readied for the Big Day. But poor Kris
still moped and worried about being a Santa
without a beard. Mrs. Kringle, ever the faith-
ful helpmate, and fingering her pompadour
of thick white hair, told him not to worry,
everything would be all right. And while the
elves were busily loading the sleigh on Christ-
mas, and Kris was shaking his head hopeless-
ly, Mrs. Kringle brought him . a present. Lo
and Behold! he found a long, white beard. He
looked askance, and removing Mrs. Kris’ head
scarf revealed that she had cut off her long
white hair to make him a beard. While the
elves frolicked deliriously, Kris put on his
new beard, jumped into his sleigh, gave a
whistle to his reindeer, and . . . slowly the
curtain closed.
The members of .the. chorus, Sue Cameron,
Walter Cook, Michelle Craig, Sherry Craw-
ford, Norman DeLoss, Gregory Decker, Jean-
ette Estes, Tony Ilackett, Gary Jeffus, Moni-
ca Lane, Jennifer Markee, Robert Pealatere,
Bonnie Schwartz, Ronnie Scolaro, Tommy
Spears, Carol Visser, recited “We Wish You a
Merry Christmas.”
We’d like to thank all those who particip-
ated in any way with this perfect prelude to
our Christmas vacation.
